FLIGHT TESTTower HobbiesUproar V2 .46/EP ARFAn updated version ofa sport favoriteBY MICHAEL YORK PHOTOS BY JENNY & MICHAEL YORKThose of us who have been in this hobby for a while cancertainly remember the original Uproar 40 kit. It waseasy to build, and its all-around flight capabilities madeit an instant favorite. It took a while, but version 2 isfinally here. Gary Wright’s original design has beenupdated for even better performance, and time-challenged pilots will appreciate that it’s now analmost-ready-to-fly (ARF) model.

The model comes fully covered, and just like the
original, it is built with an open balsa/light-ply structure.
It’s designed for either a .46-size glow engine or equivalent electric power such as a RimFire . 32, and it has
hardware for both, including engine mounts and fuel
tank. Speaking of hardware, the plane comes complete
with everything you need besides radio gear and the
powerplant. All items are neatly packaged in baggies
and grouped together as needed for the assembly,
which really helps keep bolts and screws from getting
lost or mixed up. An excellent manual guides you
through the assembly and offers a lot of construction
tips and hints.

The Uproar V2 is an excellent choice for intermediate
pilots or advanced beginners as well as expert pilots
who want a go-to plane that can do everything their
hearts’ desire.
